Older Lyrics

As a child I was a fan

Of games like hide and seek

It was all so simple then

Cause they told me when to speak

Someday I will understand

When I'm older I will see

And then I will comprehend

That's what adults promised me

Now I am older

Is there a shoulder

I can lean on

Can a grownup have no answers

How to keep on keeping on

Now I am older

Will I get bolder

Will I be strong

Still don't know what really matters

Does the duckling become a swan

Sweet dreams now she spoke convinced

My mom kissed me goodnight

But I can't sleep ever since

I'm too old for a nightlight

I'm still playing hide and seek

But now I'm a grown kid

I've been on a losing streak

Since puberty hit

Now I am older

Is there a shoulder

I can lean on

Can a grownup have no answers

How to keep on keeping on

Now I am older

Will I get bolder

Will I be strong

Still don't know what really matters

Does the duckling become a swan

So I'll pray for a new day

Will the dawn bring clarity

When the night's been scared away

I'll be older so maybe

Now I am older

Is there a shoulder

I can lean on

Can a grownup have no answers

How to keep on keeping on

Now I am older

Will I get bolder

Will I be strong

Still don't know what really matters

Does the duckling become a swan

Now I am older

Will I get bolder

Will I be strong

Still don't know what really matters

Does the duckling become a swan

Now I am older

Is there a shoulder

I can lean on

Can a grownup have no answers

How to keep on keeping on

Now I am older

Will I get bolder

Will I be strong

Still don't know what really matters

Does the duckling become a swan
